About TinyFish
TinyFish is a unified web operations platform designed specifically as a web operating layer for AI agents and applications. Built to bridge the gap between AI systems and the live web, it provides developers with a single platform to handle complex web interactions seamlessly.
The platform enables developers to execute critical operations, including:
- Searching the live web: Giving AI agents access to up-to-date information.
- Extracting clean structured content: Converting raw web data into clean, structured formats suitable for LLMs and AI processing.
- Browsing dynamic websites: Navigating through modern, dynamic web environments.
- Automating authenticated workflows: Performing secure, logged-in operations on behalf of AI systems.
By streamlining these capabilities into one unified platform, TinyFish helps AI developers reduce operational complexity, scale production workloads, and deliver highly accurate, real-time answers to users.

About Watchdog
Watchdog is a dedicated local control plane designed specifically for developers managing subagents, agentic loops, and complex agent execution graphs. While parallel coding agents enable rapid development, coordinating concurrent tasks can quickly become complex and difficult to track. Watchdog solves this issue by offering a centralized, real-time dashboard of your entire agent network.
Rather than acting as a passive monitoring dashboard, Watchdog operates as an active control room. From a single workspace, developers can observe what each agent is working on, track real-time token consumption and costs, identify the specific model and reasoning effort in use, and map agent relationships. Crucially, Watchdog allows you to actively stop, steer, and control your running agents in real time.
To fit seamlessly into different developer environments and workflow preferences, Watchdog provides three distinct user interfaces:
- Yard: A unique, pixel-art-themed user interface.
- Operator: A dedicated, streamlined control interface.
- TUI: A Terminal User Interface tailored specifically for command-line environments.
Pros of Watchdog
- Provides a unified, real-time control plane to actively stop, steer, and manage all subagents
- Tracks critical execution metrics including token consumption, costs, and reasoning efforts
- Offers three flexible user surfaces: Yard (pixel art UI), Operator, and a terminal-based TUI
- Maps and visualizes complex relationships between parallel execution graphs and agentic loops
Cons of Watchdog
- Operates as a local control plane, which may not suit teams looking for a fully managed SaaS cloud solution
- Primarily tailored for coding-centric agents and execution graphs rather than general-purpose business automations
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Watchdog?
Watchdog is a local control plane designed to help developers manage, monitor, and actively direct subagents, agentic loops, and execution graphs from a single, unified view.
What are the three UI surfaces available in Watchdog?
Watchdog offers three user surfaces to match your preferred workflow: Yard (a unique pixel art UI), Operator (a dedicated, streamlined control interface), and a Terminal User Interface (TUI) for command-line environments.
Does Watchdog allow you to control agents, or is it read-only?
Watchdog is an active control room. It goes beyond simple passive monitoring, allowing you to actively stop, steer, and control all of your agents from a single workspace.
What details can I track for each agent using Watchdog?
You can monitor what each agent is currently working on, the specific model and reasoning effort being utilized, real-time token consumption, associated execution costs, and the relationships between different agents in your execution graph.
